Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with applicable codes ANSI/NFPA 70-1999), including fire-rated construction. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have any questions contact the manufacturer. After making the wire connections, the wires should be spread apart with the grounded conductor and the equipment-grounding conductor on one side of the outlet box and ungrounded conductor on the other side of the outlet box. Before you begin installing the fan, Switch power off at Service panel and lock service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel. Be cautious! read all instructions and safety information before installing your new fan. Review the accompanying assembly diagrams. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities. Make sure the installation site you choose allows the fan blades to rotate without any obstructions. Allow a minimum clearance of 7 feet from the floor to the trailing edge of the blade. To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, mount to outlet box or supporting system acceptable for fan support. (Mounting must support at least 35 lbs.) Do not bend blade holders during installation to motor, balancing or during cleaning. Do not insert foreign object between rotating blades. Attach the mounting bracket using only the hardware supplied with the outlet box. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this fan with any solid state fan speed control device, or variable speed control. If this unit is to be installed over a tub or shower, it must be marked as appropriate for the application. NEVER place a switch where it can be reached from a tub or shower. The combustion airflow needed for safe operation of fuel-burning equipment may be affected by this unit’s operation. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s guideline safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and the local code authorities. Before servicing or cleaning unit, Switch power off at Service panel and lock service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel. NOTE-FOR OUTDOOR FANS ONLY: Suitable for use in wet locations when installed in a GFCI protected branch circuit. Use only with light kits marked suitable for use in wet locations.

TOOLS REQUIRED Wire Cutters Pliers
Before installing this fan make sure the outlet box is properly installed to the house structure. To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, mount to outlet box or supporting system acceptable for fan support. (Mounting must support at least 35 lbs.)

Step Ladder
Use metal outlet box suitable for fan support (must support 35 lbs). Before attaching fan to outlet box, ensure the outlet box is securley fastened by at least two points to a structural ceiling member ( a loose box will cause the fan to wabble). Use only the screws provided with the outlet box.

Hang assembled fan from the mounting bracket installed to ceiling in previous steps. Make sure the fan is hanging straight. Rotate fan until the tab on the Mounting bracket engages the slot on the Downrod Ball. This must be done to prevent the fan body from rotating when the blades are in motion.
For Canadian installation and for USA fan and light kit combinations over 35 lbs, in both flush and downrod mode the safety cable must be installed into the house structure beams using the 3” lag screws,washers, and lock washers. provided. Make sure that when the safety cable is fully extended the leadwires are longer than the cable and no stress is placed on the leadwires.
Make wire connections to power source using wire nuts provided. Make sure that no filiments are outside of the wirenut. After making the wire connections, the wires should be spread apart with the grounded conductor and the equipment-grounding conductor on one side of the outlet box and ungrounded conductor on the other side of the outlet box.
Lift canopy to ceiling aligning the key hole slots with the screws on the bottom of the mounting bracket. Rotate the canopy counter clockwise to lock in place. Tighten the screws to secure the canopy. See insert for key hole shape.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
If you have difficulty operating your new ceiling fan, it may be the result of incorrect assembly, installation, or wiring. In some cases, these installation errors may be mistaken for defects. If you experience any faults, please check this Trouble Shooting Chart. If a problem cannot be remedied, or you are experiencing difficulty in installation, please call our Customer Service Center at the number printed on your parts list insert sheet. Warning: Before servicing or cleaning unit, Switch power off at Service panel and lock service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel. 1. If fan does not start:
2. If fan sounds noisy:
1.Check main and branch circuit fuses or circuit breakers. 2.Check line wire connections to fan and switch wire connections in switch housing. CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned off. 3.Make sure forward/reverse switch is firmly in up or down position. Fan will not operate when switch is in the middle. 4.Make sure that shipping stabilizer tabs have been removed from motor. 1.Check 2.Check 3.Check other or
to make sure all screws in motor housing are snug (not over tightened). to make sure the screws which attach the fan blade holder to the motor are tight. to make sure wire nut connectors in switch housing are not rattling against each against the interior wall of the switch housing.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned off before entering switch housing.
4.If using an optional Ceiling Fan Light Kit, check to be sure the screws securing the glassware are finger tight. Check to be sure light bulb is tight in socket and not touching glass shade(s). If vibration persists from glass, remove glass and install a 1/4" wide rubber band on glass neck to act as an insulator. Replace glass and tighten screws against rubber band. 5.Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from Solid State variable speed controls. DO NOT USE a Solid State variable speed control. 6.Allow "break-in" period of 24 hours. Most noises associated with a new fan will disappear after this period. 3. If fan wobbles:
4. If light does not work:
1.Make sure that the ridge of the canopy engages the notch in the downrod ball. (See illustration in Step #6 of Downrod Mount installation). 2.Check that all blades are screwed firmly into blade holders. 3.Check that all blade holders are tightened securely to motor. 4.Make sure that canopy and mounting bracket are tightened securely to ceiling junction box and junction box is mounted firmly to ceiling joist. 5.Most fan wobble problems are caused when blade levels are unequal. Check this level by selecting a point on the ceiling above the tip of one of the blades. Measure this distance from blade tip to ceilng. Keeping measure within 1/8", rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned for measurement. Repeat for each blade. If all blade levels are not equal, you can adjust blade levels by the following procedure. To adjust a blade tip down, insert a washer (not supplied) between the blade and blade holder at the screw closest to the motor. To adjust a blade tip up, insert washer (not supplied) between the blade and blade holder at the two screws farthest from the motor. Reverse the position of the washer if blades mount from top of blade. 6.If blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by side) blades can redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother operation. 1.Check blue wire from fan to make sure it is connected to hot wire from house 2.Check for loose or disconnected wires in fan switch housing. 3.Check for loose or disconnected wires in light kit. 4.Check for faulty light bulbs. CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned off before entering switch housing.
